🌿 Row-By-Row Instructions
Row 1 – Base Row
- Skip 3 chains (these count as 1 dc).
- dc in 4th chain from hook.
- ch 2, skip 2 chains, dc in next 2 chains.
Repeat across the row.
Turn.
This creates paired dc separated by ch-2 gaps.
Row 2 – Start Lace Arches
- ch 3 (counts as dc)
- dc in next dc
- ch 4, skip to next pair of dc, dc in each of the 2 dc.
Repeat across the row.

Repeat across.
Turn.

- dc in next dc
- In next ch-5 loop: 5 tr
- dc in each of the next 2 dc
Repeat across:
dc, dc, 5 tr in loop, dc, dc, 5 tr in loop...
Turn.
This forms the first shell flowers.
Row 5 – Shape the Shells
- ch 3, dc in next dc
- ch 3, sc on top of the center treble of the shell (3rd tr)
- ch 3
- dc in each of next 2 dc

You now have little diamond spaces between flowers.
